Legal Question in Employment Law in Arkansas

definition of ''shall constitute grounds''

I have been terminated from my job for violoation of a policy which states such violation ''shall constitute grounds for termination''. My employer says this means he has no choice but to terminate. Does this term allow any other consesquence, or is my employer correct to state the wording of the policy leaves no other choice?
